looking for something that will last longer,  two of my three batteries are swollen they a touch over a year old,  build dates 5 of 2017 I had the drone for 4 months before I ever put it in the air,  they've been charged 20 and 29 times. im sure theres are people making better more reliable batteries,  at $89.00 each im loosing, I sent a note and photos and the S/N's to DJI, i'll put a weeks pay on it they WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME so I'm still looking for a better battery with MUCH better customer service

I have between 60/70 charges on all my 3 Batteries, and thankfully they are not inflated.
My yuneec battery on the hand, was inflated only after 2 charges!!! And now it’s useless.
I bought a new one and they are not cheap, 65 euros on amazon.
P.s. I didn’t know that you could buy batteries from manufacturer other than DJI for DJI drones.

I would avoid  knock off batteries with these devices. bad bad idea.

I'd never in a million years use any third party batteries with my drones. Never had a need to and the thought of a malfunction mid air is just not worth it IMO.

Stick with stock batteries.

I wouldn't use non dji batteries as long as my bottom still points downwards. DJI batteries only for me too.

Don't do it, stay with the original dji batteries.
